Residents will get the chance to tour a slew of commercial properties Thursday, April 27, in downtown Cape Girardeau as part of an event hosted by Old Town Cape.

The Downtown Commercial Property Open House will give those interested an opportunity to see buildings in the heart of Cape Girardeau that are available for sale or lease, according to an Old Town Cape news release. The event is from 5 to 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

The open house is put on by Old Town Cape's Economic Vitality Committee. One of the committee's main goals is to catalyze property development and provide existing and new businesses with financial tools to succeed, the release said.

"We are consistently identifying ways to evolve our role as a resource from assisting existing businesses, encouraging people to shop local downtown and with this event to give a platform for people interested in joining the downtown community to be able to do so," committee chair Blake Lingle said in the release. "I highly encourage anyone interested to come check out, not only available commercial properties, but also the amazing downtown we are fortunate to have."
